    The case study approach in sustainability

    in , ,

    One of the main challenges with promoting sustainability is the relative scarcity of real world examples. At least that is the perception.

    Built on learning outcomes

    Having established a need and demand, a new course should be built on learning outcomes.

    Modelling sustainable behaviour is a powerful strategy for affecting those around you. Listen to Diana Solovyova from eastern Russia as she talks about three different aspects of being sustainable.

    In my last post I painted a rather bleak picture of where we are now in terms of sustainability (two and a half minutes away from the midnight of catastrophe to be exact). So what is to be done? Can anything be done? What can one individual or organisation do that is worthwhile?
